WHERE PUBLICITY rs NEEDED.

There are several thousand indictments in
the District-Attorney's Office about which the
public knows nothing. No official report is
ever made of indictments found, or Of their
disposition, or reasons given for not bringing
them TO trial. 1t is left to the discretion of the
District-A ttorncy whether or not he calls a
case for trial. This. of course. puts an enor-
nous power in his hands, which about election
times can be welded with tremendous force
In order to place some check on this official
Mr.. Hamilton has introduced bill in the AS.
scmbly which contains the following provisions ::
The Distrct-Attoney Of the County of New-YOrk
shall, three months, report to the Controller
OF the City Of NewYOrli the names OF parties and the
offences charged in all indictments, and the object Of
all suits pending in his Office, when found com
menced, and tho number decided or ended and in
what manner, during the preceding three months
Such reports shall be published by the Controller in
"The City Record" provided however. that he shall
not until after report the particulars of any
Indictment the defendants in which have not been
arrested but merely the number of such indictments
pending.
This is wise measure. and it ought to be
enacted into law speedily 1t is not aimed
particularly at tho present Distrct-Attornoy,
but at a system which he admits is defective.
1t would lie easy to give many illustrations of
the evils of the present system. For instance.
tho Indictment against Fatty Walsh for
keeping a gambling house was never brought
to trial and when The TRIBUNE set out a
few years ago to investigate the matter it was
found that a nollc proScqui had been entered
by the preceding District Attorney. This of
course. was for political reasons The TRIB-
UNE brought to light number of irregular
tiles in the Public Works Department, which
resulted in the Indictment Of several employees
for dcfrauding the city of a large sum of money.
Not one of those indictments has ever been
called for trial. The Investigations of the
Roosevelt Committee led to the Indictment of n
number of persons, including some of Sheriff
Davidson's clerks. Nothing has since been
heard of those indictments. excepting the weak
est ono of the lot, which was against the Sheriff.
Undo the present system il is easy for polit-
zeal favorites to get protection, and for rum
sellers and others to escape trial without the
public being let into the secret. If Mr.. Ham
iIton's bill becomes law the people will have an
opportunity to know every three months the
status of indictments in the District-Attorncy's
office. and when they are discontinued. II is
moderate measure Of reform about which
there ought TO be no difference of opinion.

VHISKEY MURDERS.

The news of the assassination OF DIR.
Northup ProhibitiOnst at Haverhill, Scloto
County Ohio, by family of rumscllers, rs
certain to quicken the movement against the
rum power throughout the country. Few
events have done more to reinforce this agita-
ton than the murder of the Rev. John Had
dock. another active Prohibitonist, by saloon
men at Sioux City, Iowa. The Prohibition
organs everywhere, of course. utilized the
tragedy. and the resort to murder by any repre-
sentatives of tho drink evil reflected new
stigma upon the entire whiskey interest. The
cowardly and brutal killing of DIR. Northup
will inevitably extend and deepen this feeling.
The friends of total abstinence will not pause
TO draw distinctions, but will fix the response
bility for both crimes upon the liquor interest
as a whole, and will no doubt find much sup
port in this course. The killing of DIR. N0rthup
appears to have been deliberate, and as bastard
ly as combined attack with deadly weapons
upon an unarmed man necessarily must he.
The ruffianism of the deed will excite no less
horror and indignation than the alleged motive
OF it, namely the removal of man who had
made himself specially obnoxious to the rum
sellers by his efforts in behalf of Prohibition.
As murder it deserves, and will doubtless re-
ceiye, the heaviest legal punishment. As a
whiskey murder it will tell strongly against
the whiskcy cause everywhere.
Nor is it so certain that the holding to ac
count for such crimes of the liquor interest
generally is so unfair as may seem at the first
glance. For it must be considered that this
traffic is one which naturally and necessarily
attracts and enlistS the lowest elements OF the
community. The Saloon in Politics has made
the country acquainted with those clements in
the most startling way 1t has put over the
heads of the best citizens the vilcst most ig
norant, brutal and venal. 1t has disfranchiscd
intellect and virtue often, and given the con-
troll of government to vice and stupidity. 1t
has systcmatized plumber and corruption, and
lifted demagogues and knaves into power at
the expense and sacrifice of the public inter
csts. In many cities it has so fortified the
criminal classes that they have been enabled
for years to defy all efforts after reform; and
in more than one instance it has been neces'
sary to have recourse to violent methods TO
disodeo them 1t is therefore no cxaggerauon
30 say that the employment of the worst instru-
mentalities, in the worst ways. belongs natural
w TO the prosecution of the combat in which
the rum power is now engaged. And the
further its representatives are from the centres
of civilization the remotcr their location IN
country regions the more apt will they be
to revert TO the rowdyism and ruflianism OF
their lowest type. as in the Haddock and
NOrthup cases.

4 HANDY CONTRIV1NCE.

The Rev. DR.. William Everett has taken
out patent Tho patent is intended TO PFC
vent tho fcclingI of tho MugwumIs from being
lacerated by anything which their idol, Mr..
Cleveland. may do or abstain from doing. II
is a winning little patent and so simple. DR..
Evercts first exhibited it an evening or two
since at q dinner of the Massachusetts, Reform
Club "If. as believe remarked the Doctor.
"the President is with us, We must give him
our confidence rather than our criticism
Protected by this patent the Mugwump con
tingent ought TO bo free from embarrassment.
Let us see how it will work. The Rev. DIR.
Everett is asked, for instance, if he does not
regard the retention Of Mr.. Garland in the
Cabinet as a fragrant insult TO the cause Of
reform. Instead of promising that faithful
are tho wounds OF friend, and then replying
that Cleyelands retention of Garland is some
thing for which Cleveland ought to hang his
head in shame, the Doctor whips out his
patent and cxclaims, "Garland-ah, you must
excuse me from expressing an opinion; we
must give Cleveland our confidence rather
than our criticism
The patent is calculated TO do much for
the cause Of Mugwumpcry. 1t is TO be pre-
sumed that county rights are for sale In.

that it is not an infringement AT first sight

protected regardless Of the attacks Of rag
importers and political enemies. .i

The men who have deGcd the Excise and
Amusement laws in this city for years are
beginning to have some respect for the munic-
ipal authorities. That particularly choice
ruffan, tom Gould. has always been con-
spcuous figure in his group. and every rep
utablo person in turn must feel a certain salts
faction in seeing him nipped at last. The fine
of $1,000 imposed on him in the Court OF
General Sessions yesterday was by no means
all he deserved. 1t is not likely that he
minded paying out round sum for the priv
ilege of living openly in New-York again.
What rogues like him dread is imprisonment
Still the 81 900 fine is good so far as it goes.
and possibly the knowledge that there are two
other indictments Ito which he has pleaded
guilty. hanging over his head may keep him
from hagrantly violating the laws hereafter
